Chapter 1076 - 27: Harvesting the Wealth of a World (Part 2)
This even made him feel a bit surreal, as if he had plundered the heritage of an entire world.
In fact, that was indeed the case. This Desolate Domain World was abandoned, and if someone could deal with the Silent Death Legion, it would be equivalent to salvaging the wealth left behind by the entire world.
Even Violet was somewhat shocked to see all this and said, "Lord, if these were purchased from other worlds, it would cost at least tens of billions of Spirit Crystal Coins."
Lin Rui nodded, smilingly replied, "It’s not an exaggeration at all."
It’s worth mentioning that the price of a Basic Experience Book sold by the Desolate Domain World to Lin Rui was 1,000 Spirit Crystal Coins each. Each Basic Wisdom Book cost 10,000 Spirit Crystal Coins.
Admittedly, this was due to the importance the Wizard World placed on knowledge, but it indeed greatly enhanced the combat power of the Golden Pansy Domain.
Initially, Lin Rui had spent a billion Spirit Crystal Coins to purchase only 100,000 Basic Experience Books, yet he directly found over 400,000 in this library.
Just these basic materials alone were worth four billion.
The Old Prophet finally remembered, blocking in front of the bookshelf, anxiously shouting, "Stop moving them, stop moving them. I remembered, the effect of visiting the Prophet Tree House is that all soldiers in the army get a +1 rank."
Lin Rui and Violet exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
All soldiers’ ranks +1!
This was without limitation, elevating a Tier Nine, Tier Ten soldier requires an astronomical amount of experience points.
If Lin Rui brought over ten divisions, allowing all troops to level up, what kind of horrifying effect would that have?
A Plane War could perhaps be no more than this!
The power level of this Desolate Domain World was beyond imaginable.
Lin Rui asked, "Was the Desolate Domain World once a trial ground for the planes of all heavens?"
The Old Prophet frowned in thought for a long time, saying, "It seems it was indeed once a trial ground? I remember the result ended with it becoming a chaotic scene, where all participating planes suffered great losses, and thereafter the Emperor stopped placing trial grounds here. You know, the ultimate purpose of plane ranking trials was to choose a victor to fight here."
Lin Rui secretly drew a cold breath, what on earth was this ghostly place? Fortunately, it was abandoned, or else entering would mean certain death.
Though it seems had it not been abandoned, he wouldn’t have received the beacon allowing entry.
Lin Rui curiously asked, "How did this world become abandoned?"
The Old Prophet shook his head, saying, "That I don’t know, perhaps too many places were ruined and it had no value left? I’m telling you, young fellow, stop your people! They’re emptying my library, don’t think I, the old man, won’t get angry."
Lin Rui calmly smiled and said, "I’ve already cleared the Silent Death Legion from your doorstep, are you sure you want to get angry with me?"
The old man’s firmness instantly deflated, muttering, "Behaving like this towards me, you’re offending the Emperor’s authority, there won’t be a good end for you."
Lin Rui smiled and said, "I reckon after so many years, the Emperor probably doesn’t remember an old man like you. Otherwise, could you help me elevate the army by one rank?"
The Old Prophet’s confidence completely deflated like a balloon, saying, "Alright, I admit I didn’t fulfill my duty, you have the right to claim compensation. But taking all the fruits of my hard work, isn’t that lacking merit! Leave me a bit!"
Lin Rui raised an eyebrow and said, "Leaving some for you is impossible. But I can give you another option."
The Old Prophet cautiously looked at him and asked, "What kind of plan are you hatching?"
Lin Rui glanced around the simple surroundings, asking, "Do you need to eat?"
The Old Prophet shook his head in confusion, "No need, I absorb spiritual energy from the air. Eating is something primitive humans needed because humans couldn’t directly absorb energy; they had to absorb solar energy through photosynthesis in plants first. I can directly absorb energy, so why bother with such a troublesome thing like eating? With that time, isn’t it better to read more books? Why are you asking this?"
"If you’re so concerned about time, wouldn’t you need someone to manage everything inside the library?"
"Also unnecessary!" the Old Prophet immediately glared at Lin Rui, sternly saying, "No one is allowed to touch my books, I remember clearly where each book is, if someone moves them I won’t be able to find them!"
After speaking, the Old Prophet suddenly realized, "You’re trying to coax me to your territory?"
Lin Rui spread his hands, saying, "Exactly, in my territory there’s an Epic-level Miracle Building: Divine Ancient Dragon Library. Your books are already gone, why not move them to my place? You’ll have more books to read."
The Old Prophet disdainfully curled his lips, "How many books could a small Epic-level library have? What do I do when I finish reading? Your place can’t possibly connect to the Celestial Realm, right?"
Lin Rui nodded, saying, "Precisely because of that, we need you to come over."
With that, Lin Rui displayed the Traits of the library.
[Miracle Building: Divine Ancient Dragon Library]
[Level: Epic-level]
[The library is a place to collect and protect all spiritual wealth of the world, its spirit should be as greedy as a giant dragon, relentlessly collecting and cherishing all precious documents, knowledge, culture, and historic artifacts. This epic-level grand building not only houses all the spiritual wealth of the territory, it also carries the sediment of history and the heritage of civilization. An ancient dragon hidden in the river of time holds infinite wisdom and knowledge, not to be violated, while exuding a sense of historical heft that allows people to glimpse the heritage and continuity of civilization.]
[Trait 1: After construction, it can collect all the books of the territory, and randomly selects 100 of them each day to duplicate for double.]
[Trait 2: Automatically records each subject’s contributions to the territory and evaluates contribution values. Subjects can exchange all books in the library based on their contribution value.]
[Trait 3: Generates Universal Experience Books daily, the quantity being one ten-thousandth of the number of stored books (each Universal Experience Book increases 500 points of Universal Experience)]
[Trait 4: Learning traits can be set, all subjects in the territory who stay in the library long enough can master them (mastery time is determined by individual Root Bone, current Territory Level can set two traits, max Heroic Spirit Level)]
"I need you to go inside and upgrade this building to Legendary-level. As for the books, there’s no need to worry. My territory has an Altar of All Heavens, purchasing books from different worlds daily."
"Altar of All Heavens?" the Old Prophet finally expressed surprise, looking at Lin Rui and saying, "Does your territory really have that building? Only the most elite forces possess it! Each world might only have one or two such forces."
Lin Rui laughed and asked, "With the current stage I’m in capable of entering the Desolate Domain World and easily wiping out the Silent Death Legion, don’t you think I’m deserving of having an Altar of All Heavens?"
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, the Old Prophet immediately affirmed the truth in Lin Rui’s claims.
If it weren’t for some absurdly powerful existence, nobody in their right mind would venture into this Desolate Domain World seeking adventure.
Be aware, this is a battleground summoned by the plane ranking trials consisting of top-tier planes from all levels.
Though abandoned, it’s not a place for ordinary forces to roam freely.
After all, at any time, a Silent Death Legion might spawn from the Deathly Silence Mist and appear right before you.
It is filled with Demigod-level troops, and even Divine Spirits can be seen frequently.
Without the strength to enter here, surviving for even one or two cycles might be impossible.
Yet not only was Lin Rui lively and unharmed, but he also annihilated the Silent Death Legion stationed outside the Prophet Tree House.
The Old Prophet was well aware of that Death Legion’s strength, just a few hundred Demigod-level entities would be enough to induce despair, and the leader was a High-tier Divine Spirit.
Faced with them, ordinary forces might not withstand even a few seconds.
